EU must adopt a unified strategy against Russia's hybrid warfare threats.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the need for a comprehensive response to Russia’s hybrid warfare tactics, which include recent drone incidents and airspace violations threatening European unity and security. In her address at the European Parliament, she characterized these actions as part of a deliberate campaign aimed at unsettling citizens and undermining support for Ukraine. While von der Leyen did not attribute all incidents directly to Russia, she underscored the necessity for Europe to adopt a unified approach that transcends traditional defense measures. This development highlights the urgency for European nations to enhance their collective defense strategies and address hybrid threats effectively, reinforcing the importance of unity and resilience in the face of external challenges.
